Description
The IMX4 Series of board-mountable, 4 watt dc-dc converters has
been designed according to the latest industry requirements and
standards. The converters are particularly suitable for use in mobile
or stationary applications in transport, industry or telecom where
variable input voltages or high transient voltages are prevalent.
Covering a total input voltage range from 8.4 V DC up to 121 V DC
with three different types the units are available with single and dual
outputs from 3.3 up to ±24 V DC with flexible load distribution on
dual outputs. Features include efficient input and output filtering
with unsurpassed transient and surge protection, low output ripple
and noise, consistently high efficiency over the entire input voltage
range, high reliability as well as excellent dynamic response to load
and line changes.
The converters exhibit basic insulation and are designed and built
according to the international safety standards IEC/EN 60950, UL
1950, CAN/CSA C22.2 No.950-95 and are LGA and UL marked.
70IMX4 types have are also CE marked.
A special feature is their small case size, DIL 24 with only 8.5 mm
profile. The circuit comprises integrated planar magnetics and all
components are automatically assembled and solidly soldered
onto a single PCB without any wire connections. Thanks to the rigid
mechanical design the units withstand an extremely high level
of shock and vibrations. Careful considerations of possible
thermal stresses ensure the absence of hot spots providing
long life in environments where temperature cycles are a
reality. The thermal design allows operation at full load up to
an ambient temperature of 85°C in free air without using any
potting material.
Various options as e.g., extended temperature range
–40 to 85°C, or K-pinout, an alternative to the standard
industrial pinout, provide a high level of application specific
engineering and design-in flexibility.

IMX4 DC-DC Series Data Sheet
4-Watt DC-DC Converters
Functional Description
The IMX4 dc-dc modules are feedback controlled flyback
converters using current mode PWM (Pulse Width Modulation).
The converter input is protected against transients by means of a
suppressor diode.
The output voltage is monitored by a separate transformer winding
close to the secondary windings and fed back to the control circuit.
Current limitation is provided by the primary circuit, thus limiting
the total output current (I
o nom
for the single and
03044
I
o1 nom
+
I
o2 nom
for the dual output types).
The close magnetic coupling provided by the planar
construction ensures very good regulation and allows for
flexible load distribution on dual output types.

Inrush Current
The inrush current has been kept as low as possible by
choosing a very small input capacitance. A series resistor
may be inserted in the input line to limit this current further.

The suppressor diode on the input also provides for
reverse polarity protection by conducting current in the
reverse direction, thus protecting the unit. An external fuse
is required to limit this current:
– For 20IMX4 a fast 1 A (F1A) fuse is recommended
– For 40IMX4 a fast 0.63 A (F0.63A) fuse is recommended
– For 70IMX4 a fast 0.35 A (F035A) fuse is recommended
Filter recommendations for compliance with EN55022
Electromagnetic emission requirements according to table

can be achieved by adding an external capacitor
as close as possible to the input terminals.

Input Transient Voltage Protection
In many applications transient voltages on the input of the
converter are always a possibility. These may be caused
for example by short circuits between Vi+ and Vi– where
the network inductance may cause high energy pulses.
In order to protect the converter a large transient voltage
suppressor has been fitted to the input of the IMX4 types.
Specifications as on table below.
To withstand the 150 V transient according to 19 Pfl 1,
applicable for 40IMX4 types, the same external circuitry
with similar components as for IEC/EN 61000-4-5, level 2
compliance can be used.

To achieve IEC/EN 61000-4-5, level 2 compliance an
